Editorial Reviews
From Scientific American
In words and pictures, Tui De Roy, a magazine writer and one of the world's leading wildlife photographers, introduces readers to the islands that were her home for 35 years. Brought to the Galapagos at age two by her Belgian parents, De Roy grew up amongst the giant tortoises, the iguanas, the sea lions and birds that are unique to the islands. These were the creatures that Charles Darwin spent five weeks observing and collecting in 1835 and that formed the basis of his theory of evolution. The book is elegantly structured: each chapter emphasizes one distinct aspect of the Galapagos in the hope that by "displaying visually the essence of its splendid wildness," the volume can serve as an inspiration to ensure the survival of the islands' threatened animals.
Ocean Realm
In words and pictures, De Roy captures the ethereal, haunting quality of the is lands with their cold seas and burning rocks, sea lions, and marine iguanas.
